inspirational day

I went to the BIG QUILT SHOW...at least for portland oregon....... I wandered the quilts ....wonderful......saw things that were incredible and inspiring....saw quilts that were made by people I KNOW.....and sat in on a panel discussion run by the local SAQA association....the panel was made up of 3 quilters from oregon one of whom I have met before ....http://www.gericondesigns.com/weblog/, and http://www.andsewitgoes.blogspot.com/ and Jill Hoddick ( I don't have a blog for her) they did an excellent job of fielding questions .....which were presented by the co-reps for our SAQA area Georgia French and Laura Jaszkowski.......I was too chicken to ask the question I wanted the panel to consider but finally at the end someone asked MY question......"What influence has the WWW had on your road to art quilting" ..... I listen to audio books all the time as I drive and I had a circuitous drive back home and I kept loosing my place in the book because my mind kept wandering back to the discussion of MAKING ART QUILTS....good job panelists and questioners.....it is good to make folks think.......OH .....and be inspiring
